That one does not look real to me. The 1 and 7 in the date don't look right along with the denticles and also appears to be reeded.

Photo quality is poor, but even so it doesn't look right at all. Check against the real thing. http://www. (207) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed .com/us-coins/1795-3-leaves-flowing-hair-silver-dollar.jpg Link was blocked, but just do a search. The face is just bad. Edited by cjartist

The coin is a poor example of a counterfeit. The coin has many detail issues, and the coin was struck in a collar and in 1795 collars were not yet invented. In my opinion the coin has no value. I read somewhere that this counterfeit was called the spaghetti hair counterfeit. Below is a genuine example, so you can compare:  Edited by Slider23

Chinese counterfeit ... maybe worth $1 as a show & tell piece.

This thread is highly suspect to me. This person has never been on here and their first post is to analyze a coin that turned out to be fake? Is this person a counterfeit seller trying to see if a product he owns can fool coin collectors?
After he "found out" it was fake, he wants to know the value? That doesn't make sense to me. Something doesn't seem right about this person.

Seems like a routine inquiry about an "old coin", no reason to suspect ill intent at this point. This is an obvious counterfeit to any experienced collector but not necessarily to a novice.
Almost certainly not silver so no bullion value. Worth whatever someone will pay for it but I wouldn't buy it at any price. A golfer could always use it as a ball marker.

Joey, the OP may have purchased the coin for $1 as a US coin and wants to know if he/she got ripped off.

Obviously counterfeit in so many ways, already mentioned.
We have lots of first or new posters asking about the most obvious fakes that many of us have seen dozens (or hundreds) of times. No reason to suspect them.

Joey I see many many first posts on here that are asking about fake coins. I think his follow up question about value is normal especially if he purchased it. jaxy  Edited by scopru

Sorry for your loss. Not a real US coin, btw. Only value is as a conversation piece.

This one is known as the oriental fake. It's worth less than ten cents.
It looks a lot like my Pavel I coronation ruble.
